Characters:
ROGERS
Male, 35-55
The dignified butler. Rogers continues to be a proper servant even after his wife is found dead and the bodies begin piling up.

Female, 30-50
Rogers’s wife. Ethel is a frail woman, she is frantic and anxious.
FRED NARRACOTT
Male, 30-50
Caretaker of the island. Dry sense of humor
VERA CLAYTHORNE
Female, 20-30
A former governess who serves as a secretary to Mrs. Owen. Vera is intelligent and capable, but she also suffers from attacks of hysteria, feels guilty about her crime, and reacts nervously to the uncanny events on the island.
PHILIP LOMBARD
Male, 30-45
A mysterious, confident, and resourceful man who seems to have been a mercenary soldier in Africa. Lombard is far bolder and more cunning than most of the other characters, traits that allow him to survive.
ANTHONY MARSTON
Male, 20-30
A rich, athletic, handsome youth. Tony Marston likes to drive recklessly and seems to lack a conscience.
WILLIAM BLORE
Male, 40-60
A former police inspector. Blore is a well-built man whose experience often inspires others to look to him for advice. He acts boldly and frequently takes initiative, but he also makes frequent blunders. He constantly suspects the wrong person, and his boldness often verges on foolhardiness.
GENERAL MACKENZIE
Male, 50-70
The oldest guest. Once the first murders takes place, Mackenzie, already guilt-ridden about his crime, becomes resigned to his death and sits by the sea waiting for it to come to him.
EMILY BRENT

A ruthlessly religious woman who reads her Bible every day. Unlike the other characters, Emily Brent feels convinced of her own righteousness.
SIR LAWRENCE WARGRAVE
Male, 45-65
Wargrave is a highly intelligent man with a commanding personality. Wargrave’s experience and air of authority make him a natural leader for the group. A strong sense of justice.
DR. ARMSTRONG
Male, 30-50
A gullible, slightly timid doctor. Armstrong often draws the suspicion of the other guests because of his medical knowledge. He is a recovering alcoholic, and while professionally successful, has a weak personality, making him the perfect tool for the murderer. He has spent his whole life pursuing respectability and public success and is unable to see beneath people’s exteriors.

Synopsis:
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination, and the promise of a new land.
Casting: 3 Women, 6 Men, Large Ensemble of Men, Women + Children
